Hi 

@JohnDuclos - Have you checked out Hudson County? Is the property for you and your family or is it strictly for investment purposes? That makes a big difference. I know all of the areas very well and based on what your goals are I'm sure I can guide you in the right direction.

Hi Nate,

Hudson County is a great place to invest! This market is ON FIRE!! Union City can be tough bc the taxes are INSANE! Sales have increased 49% this year from last year, but if you're looking to buy & hold....be careful. Its hard to make a decent rent roll, but there are ALWAYS deals to be found....right! 

One of the hottest areas to get into right now is Bergen Lafayette in Jersey City. Inventory is scarce in Downtown JC (down 29% from this time last year) which is causing major growth in Bergen Lafayette. Investors are buying buildings up left and right. Check out the articles online (especially 234 Suydam Ave). Buy near the light rail and the near the park/playground that is under reno. I guarantee you'll see a phenomenal return within the next 5-10 years! 

How much are you looking to invest in your first property? If your budget is on the lower end like between $200K-$400K - Bergen Lafayette is PERFECT! (Taxes @ $4K-$6K)

 If you can do $400K + you should look into Journal Square & The Heights. (Taxes are very reasonable for the most part)

Union City - has the highest taxes in Hudson County. Budget $250K-$400K - taxes @ $7K-$15K! Crazy...right!

If your want to see all of the MLS listings to get a better idea of the market I can gladly email them to you! I hope this info helps! HAPPY INVESTING!!

Post: Downtown Jersey City - OFF MARKET DEAL!! 2 properties available

Hi,

I have an incredible off market opportunity. The seller is selling his 4 family Brownstone and whoever buys this property will have first dibs on the property next door which is condemned and owned by the city. This package deal is an unbelievable value. The buyer may only purchase property one, but property two can only be bought if you buy property one.

There are a few different options with this packaged deal. The seller is willing to work with a buyer who is financing. A lot of times these deals can only be all cash, but this one is different. The property has a 3.4% cap rate right now which is very low considering the average is 4-5%. It has the potential to be a 7% by raising the rents to what they should be. The owner is wanted quality tenants in his building so he charged less on monthly rent.

Option 1: Buy both houses, keep the renovated 4 family, and sell the one next door. We could quickly put it on the market and there would be a crazy bidding war. You could make a couple hundred thousand dollars by doing NOTHING!!

Option 2: Keep both properties. Renovate the condemned one and sell it once it’s completed. You would make at least a $1 million dollar profit.

Option 3: Keep both properties as buy and holds and ride the appreciation roller coaster. If you would like to see current market reports I can provide them. Property values are up 10% from this time last year. What a GREAT return, huh?

Property One: 4 Family - Fully Renovated & Rented

~ The property for sale is a renovated 4 family house located a couple blocks away from PATH train on Grove Street between Grand & Montgomery Street. Each unit features a washer/dryer, marble floors & granite counter tops. All tenants signed a one year lease 2 months ago. The owner wanted quality tenants and priced each unit way below market. I provided rental rates below for the Downtown Jersey City area. The seller is asking $2.5 million and is very firm on that price. The exact same house just sold across the street a month ago for $2.5 million. The seller will be paying commission cost.

Property Description

~ Ground Floor: 2 Bed / 2 Bath with backyard access - $2500 / month

~ 1st Floor: 2 Bed / 1 Bath with a Balcony - $2000 / month

~ 2nd Floor: 2 Bed / 1 Bath with a Balcony - $2000 / month

~ 3rd Floor: 2 Bed / 1 Bath - $2000 / month

Total Income = $102,000 ($8500 / month)

Total Expenses: $16,477 ($1373 / month)

Flood Insurance = $3588

Homeowners Insurance = $6738

Water/Sewer = $1251

PSE&G = $1300

Super (optional) $300x12 = $3600

NET INCOME = $85,523

Property Two: 4 Family - Condemned/Boarded Up - In need of Total Reno

The house next door is also a 4 family brownstone that needs a gut renovation. Years ago somebody tried to renovate the house without permits and the city shut it down. The house has been vacant for many years and the city is asking $500-$600K. The ARV is $2.5 million.

Rental Rates - Downtown Jersey City (based off MLS)

2 Bed / 1 Bath

Low = $1900, High = $3200, Average = $2655, Median = $2675

2 Bed / 2 Bath

Low = $2200, High = $6000, Average = $3518, Median = $3500

Keywords: Jersey City / Hudson County / North Jersey / Multi-Family / Investment 

Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi,

My father is a buy & hold investor. He is looking to sell 4 of his properties. Please inbox me for more info. You can buy one or two or all 4 as a packaged deal. All properties are rented and produce positive cash flow. He purchased these properties, renovated them himself, and has maintained them for over a decade. GREAT OPPORTUNITY!! The only reason he is selling is because my parents divorced and he is looking to move down south to pursue new opportunities. I look forward to hearing from you! ~Andrea
